Re: UTL_FILE Desperate- FIle I/O before version 7.3

From: Peter Tathem <peter_at_helix.com.au> >> Is the UTL_FILE package supported prior to Oracle 7.3. If so how? Is there an alternative? <<

No, utl_file is not supported before 7.3 An alternate would be to write a pro*c program to do the task or to use a combination of a pro*c program and the dbms_pipe package to read/write and process the data.
